We use RHEL and if I remember correctly (I don't work on the zLinux project directly) it was to do with RHEL compatibility with some other software at the time we started (several years ago). Maybe it was MQ, although not sure. If it is important I can ask the folks that do work on it.

We¹re looking at the costs and effort of converting our installation from SuSE SLES to RedHat RHEL on the zSeries, and I¹m wondering what others are running, and why they chose the particular distribution. All comments are welcome, on or off list; I just want to be sure we¹re not backing ourselves into the room¹s other corner.... I know this has been discussed before, but times change, and maybe a headcount is in order again. -- Robert P. Nix Mayo Foundation .~.
